Can't find a motherboard for my memory and CPU

[Tim Burr]

Hello, I have 32GB (16GBx2) 6000 MHz, Corsair Vengeance, DDR5 memory = CMK32GX5M2B6000C40

With a i9-13900KF - LGA1700 CPU

I can't find a ATX motherboard that lists the memory as compatible on their website with the LGA1700 CPU.

I was looking to spend around $250+ on the ATX motherboard. It will be a gaming PC.

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!

It would be impossible for the motherboard manufacturer to test every available compatible memory module so it isn't surprising you can't find a suitable board that guarantees compatibility. In the end you may just have to risk it and if needed sell the memory and buy the correct type.

Don't worry too much about the memory being on the QVL list. I've never went off of it anyway, I just bought the ram I wanted and it always worked just fine and I build pc's for clients so I've built a lot of them. Just make sure the motherboard supports that speed of ram. Either natively or by enabling XMP.

Thanks Guys.

I was thinking of buying the "MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI LGA 1700 Intel Z790 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Motherboard"

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144567?Item=N82E16813144567

But it doesn't list 6000 MHz for the memory.

"Supports 1R 5600 MHz (by JEDEC & POR)
- 1DPC 1R Max speed up to 6800+ MHz
- 1DPC 2R Max speed up to 6400+ MHz
- 2DPC 1R Max speed up to 6400+ MHz
- 2DPC 2R Max speed up to 5600+ MHz"

Do you think this will work?

Thanks!

4x DDR5, Maximum Memory Capacity 192GB
Memory Support 7200+(OC)/ 7000(OC)/ 6800(OC)/ 6600(OC)/ 6400(OC)/ 6200(OC)/ 6000(OC)/ 5800(OC)/ 5600(JEDEC)/ 5400(JEDEC)/ 5200(JEDEC)/ 5000(JEDEC)/ 4800(JEDEC) MHz

Yes. it will work. You'll just have to enable the XMP setting in bios so that they run at 6000mhz instead of defaulting to 5600 for max jedec.

That's usually the case with Intel's IMC and in this case, should be fine.

AMD on the other hand... is way more particular with memory compatibility.

Max official memory spec is 5600, while it will 'probably work', they only guarantee kits up to that frequency.

6000 would be classified as an 'overclock'.
